Lesotho dispensation to be introduced

Pretoria - Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Jeff Radebe has announced that Cabinet has approved the introduction of a Lesotho dispensation.

The dispensation is set to commence on 1 February 2016.

Briefing the media on Thursday in Cape Town on the outcome of the Cabinet meeting, the Minister said: “This dispensation will assist in better management of the labour flow of Lesotho nationals who come to South Africa in violation of the country’s current immigration mechanisms.”

A special dispensation was also granted to Zimbabwe in 2010 and has subsequently been extended. – SAnews.gov.za
